CHARLOTTESVILLE, March 1 -- Montrose Christian senior center Linas Kleiza said he felt the McDonald's All-American Game made a mistake by not offering him a spot in one of the premier high school all-star games. He made a terrific argument for himself on the court tonight.
Kleiza scored a game-high 28 points, had 17 rebounds and thoroughly outplayed Oak Hill's Ivan Harris, who was selected to the game but did not score tonight, in No. 1 Montrose's 73-65 victory over the Warriors at University Hall.
"That hurt a lot. I had to prove myself tonight," said Kleiza, who has yet to commit to a college but has several suitors, including Missouri, Connecticut and North Carolina State. "I definitely felt like I deserved to be there."
